RFK Jr. Scores First Policy Victory!

[RobDownSouth]

One of the longest standing objectives of the "alternative medicine" movement has been the complete removal of high-fructose corn syrup from baby formula in America.

Newly minted Vaccine-denier Secretary of HHS, RFK Jr, enacted his first formal policy this week, issuing a complete Federal ban on the nasty high-fructose corn syrup in infant formula effective IMMEDIATELY!

This ban triggered exactly zero protest from anyone: consumers, formula producers, or even corn farmers.

It seems that way back in 1980, it was discovered that newborn infants lacked the enzyme to digest corn syrups, high-fructose or otherwise. All undigestable corn syrup ever did for newborn infants was give them the shits. (The enzyme develops later in life).

Manufacturers of infant formula quietly removed the offending substance from their products....it's been gone from every single commercially available infant formula product for FORTY FIVE YEARS.

Nevertheless, the "nuts 'n berries can replace vaccines" dingleberries continued to insist that the lack of a federal ban would allow shady infant formula producers to re-introduce nasty corn syrup into formula should they so desire.

Brave RFK Jr. sealed THAT particular door shut forever via the judicious use of his federal author-it-teh!

VICTORY!

Huzzah, I guess.

Your ignorance of agriculture isn't my issue.

For all of his anti-medicine conspiracy theories, he does seem to be aware of the importance of consuming food rather than chemicals.

It's a shame that previous politicians have buckled consistently to pressure from big industry instead of standing up for their public. Weirdly, although Trump is the first President ever (that I know of) to refuse to say that now the election is over he's everybody's President, or that the buck stops with him, we do seem to be taking the first steps to including modern food standards into legislation.

Hopefully Jr. will follow up by banning chemical colorings, flavors and preservatives in confectionary and junk food.

Spend a little time understanding agriculture exports and farmers.

Or don't

Again, not my issue. The margins that farmers deal with are a reality.

let us hope this disease doesn't make the leap from the Congo to the USA... or to anywhere! With trump quitting the WHO and placing brain worm conspiracy nut in charge of America's health, it's a scary thought that it could cross the waters. The one good thing about the symptoms showing up so quickly means it is easier to track so fewer cases might make it across the water.

A mystery disease has killed 50 people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) just hours after symptoms began.

The World Health Organization and doctors in the DRC said this week that the time between symptom onset and death was just 48 hours in most cases.

Officials believe the outbreak began on January 21, and 419 cases have been recorded as of Monday. This includes 53 deaths.

According to the WHO's Africa office, the first outbreak started in the town of Boloko after three children ate a bat.

They died 48 hours after developing symptoms of hemorrhagic fever, a group of illnesses characterized by fever, bleeding, headache, joint pain, and other symptoms.

After a second outbreak in another town, 13 samples were tested and all came back negative for Ebola and Marburg, leaving doctors trying to discover just what this latest disease is. According to the WHO, animal to human jumping of disease has grown by a whopping 60% in Africa in just the past decade.

I was just reading on this situation myself. It doesn't help that the Congo doesn't have the resources to help identify the cause. Which is the whole purpose of having a world wide organisation there to help out.

RFK jr has a few jems in his bag of cracked marbles, an aversion to HFCS being one of them.

It’s a perfect example of how corporations need regulation for the good of society. If they can save a penny, they will, no matter who it harms as long as they can get away with it.


Freedom vs. Liberty.

Corporate freedom infringes on citizen liberty from unnecessary harm.

First US measles death reported in West Texas as outbreak affects more than 130 people

(Reuters) - The first person known to have died from measles in the U.S. in a decade was announced by health officials on Wednesday and described as a "school-aged child" who perished in a children's hospital in West Texas, as a Texas outbreak has grown from a handful of cases to more than 130 across two states. The child was not vaccinated against the disease, the Texas health department said in a statement on Wednesday. Media accounts say the child died at a Lubbock, Texas hospital overnight.

At least 124 people were known to be infected in West Texas since early February, Texas health officials announced, most of them children.

An additional 9 cases were announced on Tuesday, in eastern New Mexico, near the Texas state line where the outbreak has spread to about 10 counties, Texas health officials said.

18 are in hospital with the disease. It originated in a largely home-schooling community that doesn't access health care to the extent some others might.

The U.S. death rate from measles, a highly contagious airborne disease, is 1 to 3 deaths out of every 1,000 reported cases, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The last U.S. measles death was in 2015, according to the CDC.

Entirely preventable deaths, children's deaths (yes, there are bound to be more) just because people didn't get their kids vaccinated. Makes me so

In 2024, there were 285 cases of the disease in the U.S. from 16 outbreaks, up from 59 cases from four outbreaks in 2023.
